Radiography Formulas1 PDF

This document provides formulas and information useful for radiography. It includes the half value thickness of Ir192 for steel, lead, and concrete. It also gives the radioactive isotope decay formula using cobalt-60 as an example, the safe distance formula, and formulas for geometrical unsharpness, inverse square law, exposure time-distance relationship, and curie-exposure time relationship. Conversion factors are also listed to convert between curies, gray, sieverts, rads, and rems.
